MAJOR STEP DISCLAIMER: When performing this maintenance, make sure you clean the slider pins. The slider pins are located on the Brake Bracket. There should be 2 pins and they are inside the rubber shims, slide them off and clean them. Remove from the rubber housing, clean the old grease off with a paper towel, re-grease and reinstall. Make sure this in completed before attaching the bracket back onto the hub assembly.

Can you do a vid on the fronts

[@BillMcGirr]

Good correction… This is a solid video. Slider pins are important to check for grit and wear. Very good video.👍💪🥃

[@viaciclista]

You also didn't tell folks to replace the master cylinder cap before pumping the brakes.

[@linguafranca7]

This video is very thorough and explanatory and really gives someone looking to take on any one of these jobs a high degree of confidence. You really explain the reasons why you are taking each small step. Thanks!!

[@rammiq]

[@rammiq]

Thank you for the nice comment! When I first started on KZbin, my main goal is exactly your comment. I wanted to educate and explain thoroughly but not overkill the content! Your comment means so much! I hope I can continue to serve my audience better every time! Cheers

RQ thanks for the tips, it’s crazy how there’s so much that we can do ourselves without a background in mechanics

[@rammiq]

With some simple tutorials we can save so much $$

[@Mtm1423]

Perfect instructions, making it so simply and easy, thanks man!!

Best one I’ve seen yet

Thanks! That means a lot!! We want to deliver the best content & give every step so you know how to do everything!

[@RedBud315]

Great video. For future reference It's actually called a parking brake and not an emergency brake or E-brake. I think the term emergency brake term came from it being the last measure to resort to when the brakes fail. And it's crazy how many people I see NOT use the parking brake when parked even when on hills let alone flat ground. Using the parking brake eliminates the tension on your driveline which includes transmission and u-joints when you are parked. Makes it easier to get out of park for auto trans and if you have a manual then you don't have to worry about the engine compression to keep the car from rolling.

[@rammiq]

Thanks for sharing! You are correct; parking brake is the correct terminology, not E-brake. Also, it is alarming how so many people under-utilize the parking brake since it helps prolong those important parts of our cars.

[@truely4eva]

Love this video got the same car need to see more videos like this 👍👍💯💯

[@rammiq]

Don’t worry man! Got lots more coming 🫡

[@joseluisoros396]

Hi Rom, It would be AWESOME if do “the ultimate E-Brake adjusting process on…” (very few realises how important It is) So could also ADD lubricating sliding pins snd explain difference on inner and outer Pads and how affected your previous rotors and pads Best Regards from Mexico City

[@BillMcGirr]

Very good video. Solid information here.💪👍🥃 Thank you.

[@livefree2881]

That was awesome learning, indeed 👍

[@rammiq]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video and learned how to change ur brakes!

[@Gshock714]

That's only parts wait til they tack on the Labor that's a 600-800 total job,they charged me 670 for my 05 Tundra..I paid 182 for the parts and did it myself for an hour labor,but good video overall

[@Pr0blemzx]

This is a awesome video thank you so much

[@rammiq]

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope my instructions were clear!

[@annier.6976]

I screwed up and drilled straight through the rotor screws to get them off

[@jacquescasanova3702]

Great video!. I have the same car -- this will be helpful. Just one thought -- I assume the cap goes back on the brake fluid reservoir before pumping brakes?

[@rammiq]

You are correct, thanks for asking!

[@7dayservices495]

Doesn't "Unloosen" mean to tighten???

Same with me! The job will be fun!

[@chrisdc3917]

Hey man, can we get the parts used as well and where you bought them? Thanks! A review of the parts as well. :)

[@y2k465]

Can you tell us the jack point when using a floor jack ? I notice you used planks of wood, is that necessary?

[@rammiq]

When jacking the rear of the Acura TL, If you look directly at the center rear of vehicle, there is a metal hook. This hook is the rear jack point for the Acura generation (I've attached a link for visuals). 2:56 I used the plank of wood on my floor jack to level out the forces while jacking up my car to make sure it safe and secure (optional but I enjoy taking extra precaution). Hope this helped! www.google.com/search?q=2007+acura+tl+jack+points&sxsrf=ALeKk01rbPWn3eJhbsJWhzT33BxLN84hWg:1620839296524&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwim-Yb00MTwAhVEBs0KHTKlD34Q_AUoAnoECAEQBA&biw=1920&bih=937#imgrc=DSq38XeomXZVBM

The only thing I disagree with is the loctite and lubricant on the bolts I would use anti seize

[@MrKrazybean]

great video. thanks...

[@AkashSharma-zb2rf]

Great explanation video, however where did you buy those brakes and rotor from??

[@rammiq]

Thank you for commenting, glad you liked the video! You can look up parts for your car anywhere, amazon, auto stores, etc. Just make sure it fits your exact make and model!

[@ivwoc]

what did you torque the bolts on the caliper bracket/housing to

[@erickm1812]

Is the parking brake on while u take off the rotor ?

[@rammiq]

Great question- no it ins't on! No need to keep it on as you'll be removing the rotors! Hope this helps!

[@zealgaming9123]

Is it necessary to bleed the brakes or open the brake reservoir??

[@rammiq]

Great question! From my personal experience, I would open the brake reservoir cap under the hood so the system doesn’t pressurize when pushing in the brake piston. Bleeding the brakes is a necessary maintenance but not required when changing brakes and rotors

Muchas gracias

[@Mannyswanks]

can you put links on where you bought the products I can’t seem to find rotors for 40.. links would be great thanks

[@f3arl3sscountdowns81]

Is the thread loctite necessary?

[@rammiq]

Great question! It is always crucial to always use loctite when re-installing screws. This will help with vibrations issues and ensure the screws/bolts will not fall off. Hope this helped!

[@f3arl3sscountdowns81]

@@rammiq thank you! Love your video! Very informative!

[@Williams15016]

What about the slider pins you did not clean the slider pins when ever you change rotor and pads always clean and lubricant the slider pins!!!!!!!

[@tracywatts2840]

Would this be the exact thing to do on a 2007 tl type s? Prob a stupid question but just making sure.

[@rammiq]

Good question! Honestly not 100% sure since the TypeS has Brembo brakes. I would check another video that does Type S specific brakes to be sure!

[@seiklone]

Where my Prius owners atttttt???

[@rammiq]

If the opportunity arises I will do one! But this process is relatively similar so in theory you can do it!
